What is the purpose of the /system scheduler in RouterOS?

• A. To run scripts or commands at scheduled times or events
• B. To configure DNS servers
• C. To view firewall rules
• D. To manage interfaces

Answer: (A)

Automation of tasks through scheduling is what /system scheduler provides in RouterOS. It lets you create entries that run a script or a command at a specific time, at regular intervals, or when the system starts or stops. This makes it ideal for repeating operations like daily backups, automated reboots, or updating dynamic configurations without manual intervention. It isn’t about configuring DNS, viewing firewall rules, or managing interfaces, which are handled in other parts of RouterOS, so describing it as running scripts or commands at scheduled times or events best captures its purpose.
